I still remember when the Metal Gear games were about hiding. Stealth is not a word I'd use to describe this action.

Raiden's internal monologuing during the cinematic at the beginning reminds me of a high-school drama student trying to sound psychotic. But skip to the actual gameplay at about 3:30, and he busts out a sword that cuts through everything, repeatedly, from battle mechs to internal organs. It's as if the programmers knew video games were going to get blamed for gun violence, so they made sword violence ten times more bloody instead.

It works. I don't often have time to play games, but I want this. Because when sword-disembowelment games are outlawed, only rogue military cyborgs will have sword-disembowelment games. And that wouldn't be fair.

Dead on with the description of Raiden's voice. Fortunately (or is it unfortunately?) I'm so used to bad voice acting in video games, I'm desensitized.

Thoughts: First, Revengance is a fucking stupid title. Second, when he tore out that one cop's cyberintestines, my eyes rolled completely of their own accord. Third, I will probably still play the shit out if for about a week, because even if the classic-style Metal Gears are a thing of the past, I'm still a sucker for some good old-fashioned ultra-violent hack and slash.
